God Bats Last
There will be a vaccine.

Susannah, I also have no doubt a vaccine will be found. And no one in their right mind can possibly think the spread of this virus was a political plot.
As for the rantings and tirades from both sides of the political fence, I now scroll right past them. I have cousins from each party posting anger and hate filled ridiculousness multiple times a day. It’s all or nothing, no middle ground, no shades of gray.
Where is Abe when we need him?

They should all bake, instead. I’ll tell ya. As for Abe, he’d straighten it all out. He’d bind the nation’s wounds. He would.

This was much needed reading, SB. And thank you for that, because I was feeling several quarts low all week. It should be called The Nightly Noise for all the forgettable it serves up to us, with nary a whisper of good tidings. And while I don’t need my news cycle to hit me with the idea that the world is headed for one big cupcake party with sun forecast for the rest of time, I do think it would be nice to have something to hold onto. Something that lets us know this too shall pass.

If you look at the history of plaques and vaccines, it’s almost a no-brainer. Will it happen by Monday? Alas, no…BUT IT WILL. IT WILL MARC.

I know it will. WE know it will. Now let’s hope enough people feel it, that same way.

Faith. It’s worth fighting to have. But staying off the news really helps.

It’s funny. No matter how many times faith gets pinched, it never wavers. It keeps its mouth sealed and does its time, and when it comes out of the dark cell, it’s got the right friends waiting for it.

I have the same faith, Susannah. I also like your tip a lot. “Stop believing every little sound bite, media blurb, Dems versus Reps slur you read and hear, and pray instead.” I think our energy needs to be placed in building optimism within ourselves rather than tearing every notion of goodness apart. Stay well. 😊

That sounds like good, proper reading for right now, Susannah. Thanks for that one. And yes. We must step away from the news. I’m not saying to not get an update from reliable sources so that we don’t live in a bubble and inadvertently harm our own selves but we must stay away from the noise that has become rather deafening.
There is definitely a vaccine in the future. Hell, the world is working on it – together. It’s just a question of when, not if.

Great way to look positively on this. I’ve been thinking of everyone during the Spanish Flue pandemic and how they did not know what to do to prevent the spread and certainly could not have worked from home, in any case. We are very lucky for the progress that we have, even if it’s not perfect.

When I read up on vaccines, I felt a lot better, forgetting things like Polio and Tetanus. John Roebling father of Washington, who began the building of the Brooklyn Bridge, died of lock jaw. If he had had a tetanus shot, he would have seen the completion of his noble bridge.

I do not watch the news; it poisons the system and one ends up sick…from head to toe. This morning I spent an entire hour Zooming with a large group of new acquaintances and family! Talk about lifting spirits…awesome. No negative thought, positive was in the lead and won. God has always been in charge; I have a strong faith and with a strong faith we will make this because He has us. This quote says much; “Jesus is the inspiration for anyone to go the distance.”
Rocky himself said that…Sylvester Stallone. God absolutely bats last and I’m going the distance with Him. Faith will carry us all the way.

I just picked this book up yesterday, for the umpteenth time during Meeting, which is now on Zoom. Anne NEVER disappoints, and always hits the mark with whatever I have going on at the time. (with a laugh) The page I opened to was Anne explaining different types of prayers. “Could you let her die in her own bed, in the night, with Baby beside her? “And then take fat Baby out with a stroke? These are the prayers I can wrap my head around. Oddly enough, while I was turning the page, the packing slip fell on the floor. Dear Top, I just love this. One of her best. Love, Susannah. Couldn’t make it up! *Disclaimer: Baby is a mean cat.

That was her mother’s cat she unusually hated, being such an animal lover and all. She makes you actually want to peruse the bible, of course, in her Anneease, not John’s or James. Zoom is the new black, ir seems.

I’m grateful for my Zoom meting for worship, and the mute button. That line just hit my funny bone hard. That’s the “I’m so done prayer” Every time I think of it I laugh. Anne can re-write the Bible, you can re-write the History books, and the world would be wiser.
